Aucks and Andy have a wild card and they have drawn Julian Knowle & Andy Ram, the 4th seeds. Jamie and Vemic are here as well and they face Igor Andreev & Marcin Matkowski (only half of the Polish duo there thank god!)
I noticed that Ross Hutchins, after his South African qualifying performance, had stormed from being unranked to GB's no 28 ( and world no. 1097 ). GB has in total 26 players in the top 1000. In comparison : France : 73 players in the top 1000, 28th ranked is world no. 281. Germany : 57 players in the t...

The return of the Thomson twins here, and also Jordan Mculloch. All of which have won their 1st rounds respectively, these could well be our wimbledon hopefuls -- Edited by Drew at 13:14, 2009-02-05
Laura Slater has been taking advantage of a weak field here. Laura is currently ranked around 250, the top seed (a local girl) inside 100, and everyone else outside 500. The two have combined in the doubles, and unsurprisingly have hardly lost a game. R1 Laura DEIGMAN (GBR) defeated Ann-Christin NIL...
QR1: Benjamin George Levi UNR v Nikoloz Basilashvili (GEO) WR 1220 Ben first up at 4pm GMT today. Might be worth checking MTF for the result at TBARM is updating results there. If by a minor miracle Ben makes the main draw there will be live streaming.

The ATP calendar has been updated. We have 2 x 15k events in Januray, the same again in March followed by a 50k challenger in Jersey. The problem with using Jersey is that, because you need to fly there, it may as well be a foreign event for those just hoping to qualify. http://www.atptennis.com/en/c...
Flembo & the Skupster are in the same quarter of the draw in the Ivory Coast and have decent first round draws.

Just seen on LTA website that the U14s and U16s are playing Winter cup this weekend (dont have the computer skills to post the link, sorry). Does anyone know what is up with Amy Askew - she isnt in the U16s (neither is Jen Ren but I imagine she is playing elsewhere). All the other teams seem to be at full stre...
